I had no idea that "perp walks" were done mainly for the media until they were ruled unconstitutional in NYC.

I wasn't so naive as to think that the cops didn't tip off the media when they were ready to transport a suspect from the police station to the jail. But I'd had no idea that more often than not, they were simply taken outside to have their pictures taken!
